Sarah VonderHaar is a young and blossoming singer/songwriter, who despite her age has already accomplished more than many of her peers. She has been a contestant on “America’s Next Top Model,” photographed her first Forbes magazine spread (as the shooter, not the subject) when she was 20, acted in a film and, at 21, has just completed her debut album, Are You Listening Now? She’s about to release its first single, “I Got Sunshine,” co-written by fellow Chicagoan Alice Peacock and VonderHaar’s producer, Marshall Altman.

VonderHaar feels this song expresses her own sunny attitude. The song, she says, “describes how to deal with the troubled world we live in by staying optimistic and reminding yourself of all the wonderful things we have in our lives.”

Alternating between emotional ballads and upbeat pop-rockers, Are You Listening Now? reflects a multitude of experiences in her young life, from love lost and found to the simplicity of childhood to the wisdom and strength of her guiding light, her poetry-loving mother – the woman who built her confidence by singing to her a song with the lyric, “Who’s the most beautiful girl in the world?”
